A sidebar—I have always found it amazing that once you give up on something, the solution kind of appears right in front of you. In the <a href="http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=4235"; title="How to change default paper size - Always prints in A4 - Ubuntu Forums">Ubuntu forums there is an answer</a> to at least my problem. The file /etc/papersize by default has a setting of “a4”.
My problem was fixed by: * Changing “a4” in the /etc/papersize file to read “letter”. * Removing the printer. * Adding the printer back. The test page now appears right, and all of the margins are correct. This brings to mind an interesting question: Is A4 a reasonable default size? Or, is there a way to have a “country based” default setting? Say, a user designates in the installer program that he or she is in the New York timezone in the United States, should the setting be toggled to US Letter? I don’t directly know of anyone in the US that uses A4 paper, since Letter is the standard here. -- Always prints A4 paper https://launchpad.net/bugs/46613 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
